I shouldn't complain so much, other stuff bothering me. A positive is they fit so far without glue. A negative is that they get to burning the roof of my mouth after I've had them in awhile. I even take them out, brush under cold water, rinse my mouth and put back in, 3 or 4 times a day. Can't stand any food stuck anywhere. Am distressed because I get up in the night and my bottom gum with some teeth left is bleeding again, thought with my gums getting a little better with the top out, I wouldn't have to worry about it. I am totally not up to going through any of that again yet.

I haven't been too hungry for candy, got some tavener's licorice from um amazon or someplace. The full flavor comes out if you can chew them and they come fairly fresh which means softer. If I see or think of something I want badly enough, I don't care how it's packaged. I don't like most of it these days. Oh junior mints, the big mint patty, a couple other things if we could find them. Had a plain high-quality chocolate bar from my sister, tried to take a bite, too hard so handed it to my daughter. I could have let it dissolve but didn't seem worth it.

Yeah, if it's something I really like, wrapped or not, I eat way too many at a time.

Dang basketball again. I'm sick of those sportscasters and miss my regular shows. Always griping about something.

It’s OK to complain. You have been through hell. And eating is something that we have to do every day. It sounds very frustrating. How come they burn the roof of your mouth? That sounds odd. Is it a chemical thing?

They sound like they are so much trouble that I might actually lose weight if I get dentures. It almost doesn’t sound worth it, like you said about the chocolate. Although when I had my wisdom teeth removed as a child, I remember it was around Thanksgiving and I managed to eat a whole bunch of mixed nuts. I love those. Not much stops me from eating :-(
